Question

The International HapMap Project was created with two goals.

A) One is the development of methods for applying the technology of these projects to the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
B) The other is to map the ______ of the many closely related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human genome?

Answer 1

The correct answer is - haplotype.

Explanation:

The international HapMap project was made with the goal of generating the haplotype map of the human genome. The HapMap project helps in providing the major resources that are used to recognize the genes that affect disease, health, probable responses to a particular drug and other research factors.

A Haplotype is a set of genes present in a particular organism that comes from a single parent altogether. The haplotype is derived from word haploid that sates that cells with one set of chromosomes.

Thus, the correct answer is - haplotype.
